I wouldn't normally vote this way, but he seems to be able to get yards when hardly anyone else can.

Valerie Gilmore

they call it duel threat for a reason

Ed Payne

Tommy is a more complete QB now, but his legs are a weapon that shouldn't be ignored.

Keith Petrie

We've run the QB before.... :-/

Tyrd Ferguson

Play to win. Every day. If our team rises and falls on one player, then we don't have a team. Players get injured. The next in line steps up. Often the next in line is great. So what, if not? PLAY TO WIN. RUN TOMMY RUN!

Jim Stiver

He has had many opportunities when rolling out to run with the ball and yet he keys on a receiver and thats it he will throw the ball even if there is double coverage on the guy. He needs to run he would pick up a lot of yards this way.

he'll get hurt sooner or later and the more he runs the sooner that will happen

First game is always vanilla on offense. They will try to establish the run with basic run formations.

Robert Lloyd

Slightly more runs than passes... if we are smart. Or it's going to be a long year.

Nat Warren

Oline should dominate a transfer portal depleted Northwestern front and get the practice running the ball that is needed to win in the BIG.

Man who stares at Q-functions

They will play to win. The way to win is to grind Northwestern down.

Dalynn Parks

I feel we should get a somewhat comfortable lead and start grinding out 1st downs via the run game. But if Oline under-performs and forgets to show up? All bets are off.

Mick Hanson

Show off our running back talent, as they won't stop us by the end of the game.

It will likely be balanced, but slightly more runs. Whipple likes running.

Jory Knowlton

Whips will probably stick to a 54/46 ratio. I know they will be seeking as much balance as possible. An early lead would help balance things back to near 50/50. Early on as they go on attack, I think it may start out close to 60/40.

Randy Weitzenkamp

It'll be pretty close to a 50/50 split, but I'll give the slight edge to the run game. From what I've read our run blocking is better than our pass blocking right now. Much like the TO days I can envision a run heavy 1st & 2nd down to avoid 3rd and longs.

Jim Firnhaber

There will be swing passes and screens that will act as substitutes for runs, loosen up the D and spread the defense.

Our schedule is in our favor.

Randy Weitzenkamp

I struggled with this decision. We have talent, but that hasn't been our problem recently. Execution, special teams and the O-line have been our Achille's heal (in that order). If we can improve in 2 of these areas, it should be enough to get us 7 wins.

Al Wenburg

I think our offense will score a lot more points than last year and the defense will shut more teams down on 3rd downs.

I think we may have to win one of the last four tough games to be bowl eligible.

Rolland Holliday

Tough teams on the schedule, and Scott has not proven his coaching abilities as of yet.
